The application and Validate SDK (tonic_validate) allow you to measure how well your RAG LLM system performs.
Validate calculates rigorous LLM-assisted RAG evaluation metrics. You can also use tonic_validate to compute RAG metrics outside the context of a Validate project.
In Validate:
Development projects track the performance of a RAG system that is under development.
Production monitoring projects track how well a production RAG system answers questions from actual users.
For development projects, Validate also provides an integration with Ragas, , that allows you to visualize Ragas evaluation results in Validate.
